PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow - U-Shape Full Body Pillow and Maternity Support with Detachable Extension - Support for Back, Hips, Legs, Belly for Pregnant Women

Product Information

We reviewed results from the What to Expect Sleep Awards, which polled more than 2,700 mothers in the What to Expect Community. Material:Most pregnancy pillows will come with a cover, which can be available in a variety of materials from lightweight cotton to plush velvet. You may be noticing some side effects as your body changes including back pain, pelvic girdle pain and trouble getting comfortable in bed. Award-winning and loved by influencers such as Chessie King, this pillow is quite the investment for such a short period of time.

Some members of our What to Expect community say that this pick works well when paired with a regular pillow between your knees as opposed to the small “extra” pillow included but not attached to the main butterfly pillow. Your legs should be one on top of the other, but don’t loop one leg over on to the bed as this can impact hip alignment and make you more uncomfortable. The polyester fill is adjustable and easy to contort to a position that’s to your liking both during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. The “3D spacer mesh” provides full breathability around your bump, and the pillow also has ultra-soft jersey cotton throughout. The cover is also super-soft to prevent irritation and rashes, plus it comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.Now, before we get any further we must disclose that none of us over here at the TSA headquarters were pregnant at the time of testing. You can place it under your bump to take the weight off when you’re lying on your side to help you get into a comfortable sleeping position.

Sleeping can be an uncomfortable experience as your bump grows bigger in the second and third trimesters and I personally struggled with pelvic girdle pain (PGP) – a condition that causes pain in the lower back, pelvic joints, hips and thighs. We found that this pillow would be best suited to someone who tends to roll onto their back at night, and were impressed by how cooling it felt thanks to the cotton material. Believe it or not, this comfortable pillow is for more than just pregnant women needing a better night's sleep.As well as the aforementioned MNHQ-tested pregnancy pillows, we've been on the lookout for more of the top-ranking pregnancy support pillows available in 2023. Plus, it works well for extra cushioning in bed/on the sofa while drinking tea and eating biscuits, and doubles up as a feeding pillow and baby lounger when the time comes. It’s also worth bearing in mind what materials make up the pillow’s inner, because if you suffer from allergies, a hypoallergenic model may be necessary. Our parent tester, Laura, a mum-to-be in her third trimester, put each pillow through its paces to help narrow the shortlist down to the top picks below, and we've also included a handy 'best of the rest' guide to include some other popular pregnancy pillow options. As a result, getting a decent night's kip can feel almost impossible and that's where the best pregnancy pillow - also known as a maternity pillow - comes into its own.
